Very cool, I did not know that. I have my own subscription on my existing ISY, so I can do that. I will contact support. Thanks for the info!!!

My original question also was asking - Can I run my ISY on Polisy in parallel with my 994 and access the ISY portal? I bought the Polisy and a USB PLM a couple weeks ago, and would like to transition some of it over gradually. Is there a way to do that?

I am in the process of working on phasing out (EVENTUALLY) my isy994 due to the issues with the serial PLM (I am a huge Insteon user and don't want to trash all my devices) and hopefully replacing it with my new Polisy Pro/USB PLM. I have integrated some basic Polyglot stuff on RPII to my ISY, but am trying to understand the implementation here . . . Will the Polisy be my standalone replacement for all ISY functions, or do I still need to run the ISY hardware? Will my ZWAVE devices work? I use the portal integration for Amazon Echo - can I have 2 PLMs running during my migration? I'm sure I'll have more questions as I move forward, but just starting at the basics here . . . . Is there any documentation that goes over this at a high level? Thanks!!! Paul

Why four instances? Performance?

Mine are actually sitting in a DMZ outside my home network, so I'd rather pull it inside and not have to deal with poking correct ports/routes/etc. through my firewall. Or I'll just buy another one, as you can't every have enough RPis. :--)

Wow, very cool, really appreciate the detailed explanation. I'm very familiar with the RPi (running 2 to do dns/web services/perl script automation, etc.), used it since the original came out. Mine are version 2, so I might repurpose one for this. I haven't bought the Echo yet, been watching these threads, and am finally to the point with other projects I can spend some time on this. Once again, thanks a bunch for consolidating this info here . . . It took you some time, and I appreciate it!!! Paul

OK, looping through these many pages, I'm confused on the current support of Echo and ISY994i. I have been using the 994i for about 2 years and love it. Already integrated by alarm using ISY/DSCLink running on a PC, and I'd like to integrate and Echo, but can't find a source for what the current support is (direct, need some sort of intermediate device/hub/etc). I'm mainly wanted to start just controlling lights or kicking off ISY programs via Echo. I don't mind configuring/etc extra things, but would rather not if possible. Is there a better place to find "current status of ISY/Echo direct integration" or do I just have to filter through the pages of info here (It's all good, but looking for the easiest way to start). Thanks in Advance. Paul
